    At this point, why is Hamas still even holding onto any hostages? Whatever the original plan was has obviously blown up in their face and the hostages aren’t really giving them much leverage. If anything, it gives Israel a thin veneer of an excuse to continue with the genocide, they don’t really seem to concerned with accidentally killing any of them. If Hamas released the rest of the hostages though it takes away one more excuse Israel can hold onto, though at this point, it may not make a difference one way or another.

      You act like these people have anything left at this point but to fight. If all of your family is dead, and your kids are dead, and your property is gone, why not join Hamas and shoot at the people who bombed it all? Thats the point of view you’re dealing with. The average age in Gaza before all of this was hardly old enough to experience half of the eye stealing going on in the region since Israel’s creation.

      Because as long as Hamas has the hostages the israeli public will Riot.

      Most israelis don’t care about Palestinians being Genocided. But they do care about their own hostages.
